There are some questions that we get asked pretty often so we thought we would put together a list to help you learn more about the what and why of what we do. Please visit our FAQ page for even more questions and answers!

  • What is black mold?

    Black Mold in Home

    "Black mold" typically refers to a specific type of mold called Stachybotrys chartarum. It is often associated with a dark greenish-black color, although it's important to note that not all molds that appear black are necessarily Stachybotrys chartarum.

    Black mold is known for its potential health risks as it can produce mycotoxins, which are toxic substances that can cause health issues in humans and animals. Exposure to black mold or its mycotoxins may lead to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health concerns. It is particularly concerning when found in indoor environments, as prolonged exposure can be harmful.


  • What are signs of mold growth?

    Mold Growth

    Signs of mold growth include a musty odor, visible mold on surfaces, water stains, and increased allergy symptoms.


    If you notice any of these signs, it's important to investigate and address the issue right away.


  • How quickly should water damage be addressed?

    water removal

    It's crucial to address water damage as soon as possible, ideally within the first 24-48 hours. This helps prevent mold spores from growing and minimizes the extent of damage.

  • What is the process of mold remediation?

    Mold Remediation

    Mold remediation involves identifying and addressing the source of moisture, isolating the affected area, removing contaminated materials, and cleaning or treating surfaces to eliminate mold. Preventative measures are then implemented to avoid future mold growth.

It typically grows on materials such as fiberboard, gypsum board, paper, and other building materials, especially in areas with high humidity, water damage, or condensation.
